A series of six programmes in which British men and women recall their unusual or little known lives in uniform.
4: Keeping Peace in the Desert
In the aftermath of the First World War, when the Allies met at Versailles to divide up what was left of the Ottoman Empire, Great Britain was given a mandate to administer the new kingdom of Iraq. One of Britain's most urgent problems was to protect the shepherd tribes who lived on the southern frontier of Iraq from raiding parties by camel tribes-men from neighbouring Saudi Arabia. And to do so she employed the planes of the newly-formed Royal Air Force, working with a handful of army liaison officers on the ground, one of whom was JOHN BAGOT GLUBB PASHA of the Arab Legion. Now, over 50 years later, Sir John Glubb recalls his part in keeping peace in the desert.

Ten films about development issues in India
9: All in the Family
In the 36 years since India became independent, the country has become one of the world's ten leading industrial nations. From small beginnings in 1956, Hero Cycles has become the largest bicycle manufacturer in the world outside the United States. During the same period, Telco, India's largest manufacturer of trucks and buses, has established an international reputation for its products.
What has the company's success meant for their workers - men like Ram Din, who's been with Hero since the beginning, and Ekanath Thigale , who joined Telco when he left school.
